It becomes a necessity. We are all bombarded with a crazy volume of information daily. This constant influx, while rich in potential knowledge, often leaves us overwhelmed, disorganized, and with a sense of drowning in data rather than swimming through knowledge.The traditional methods of managing information (e.g., documents, basic note-taking, Post-It notes, etc) prove inadequate in effectively capturing, organizing, and leveraging this vast sea of data for personal growth or professional advancement. The challenge isn’t just about dealing with the quantity of information but about transforming it into structured, accessible, and actionable knowledge. Without the skills to navigate this complex information ecosystem, you will continue struggling to retain, recall, and utilize the valuable insights that could otherwise enhance your decision-making, creativity, and productivity.Why let your precious insights and ideas fade away when you can capture, organize, and leverage them? “Knowledge Management for Beginners” addresses this critical gap by introducing a structured approach to Knowledge Management, and Personal Knowledge Management (PKM). The course acknowledges that while our brains are incredible at processing information, they are not optimized for the storage and retrieval of the vast amounts of data we encounter. Memories fade, and the cognitive load of managing information can hinder our ability to think deeply and critically. This course offers a lifeline by equipping learners with the tools and techniques to design a personalized PKM system. Through this system, learners can transform the chaotic stream of information into a well-organized knowledge base, enabling not just improved retention and recall but also the capacity for innovation and deep, analytical thinking.By addressing the root causes of information overwhelm, this course empowers individuals to take control of their learning journey, making knowledge a powerful ally in achieving personal and professional goals.What benefits should I get?Increase your Potential: Leverage Knowledge Management (KM) and Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) to grow your personal life and your career.Accelerate Future Learning: Equip yourself with the knowledge and skills to stay ahead, adapt to future needs, and leverage your knowledge for new opportunities.Overcome Information Overload: Discover strategies to manage information efficiently, eliminating the feeling of being overwhelmed by the vast amounts of data encountered daily.

Those have drastically changed the knowledge management landscape and brought us the opportunity to manage knowledge much more efficiently, and to truly create ourselves a second brain, or digital garden.During most of 2021, I’ve done extensive research and curated a ton of information and links about the Personal Knowledge Management space. I’ve now regrouped all of this inside of a Notion space.It is now a solid database of the best resources you can find on the subject around the InternetEach and every week I add new resources to this Notion space: articles, blogs, books, courses, tools, videos, etc. This includes the content that I publish myself on the subject and my weekly newsletter.What you will getHere, you can buy lifetime access to my Notion space, and get regular updates; either for you personally, or for your team.What’s included?A list of 290+ toolsLinks to 350+ articlesLinks to 145+ videosA list of 90+ books about learning, thinking, writing, note-taking, journaling, neuroscience, psychology, stoicism, etcLinks to 225+ sites & blogsA list of 75+ Youtube channelsA list of 90+ coursesA list of 90+ newslettersA list of 40+ podcastsA list of podcast episodesA list of 70+ communities and forumsA list of ~2K PKM leaders, influencers, and enthusiastsA list of 50+ starter kits and templatesA list of 100+ Twitter hashtags to followA list of 80+ topics and links to relevant articles, books, videos, etcAnd more!I will keep adding to the Notion space, and I’ll continue contributing information for the whole community.You’ll also get lifetime access to the Personal Knowledge Management community for support and knowledge sharing.RefundsIf you’re not 100% satisfied, then just let me know, and I’ll issue a full refund.
